This is an improved and simple version that keeps 1  package-index recipe and updates the 3 kinds of packages at the same time:
http://git.pokylinux.org/cgit/cgit.cgi/poky-contrib/commit/?h=dcui/package-index&id=fb26e81dcb6e27e2908294e406a3011baed0120d
This avoids forcing the user to remember which package type they enabled when running "bitbake package-index".
(I also past the new version at the end of this mail for easy reviewing)

Thanks!

    package-index.bb: also add the support for rpm/deb

    [YOCTO #1024]

    -------------------------------
    (I'll make a new patch to add the below description to the manual).

    How to generate and use repos:

    1) run "bitbake package-index" after building some target;
    2) export ${DEPLOY_DIR_RPM} and ${DEPLOY_DIR_IPK} by a webserver on the host
    (let's assume the host IP is 192.168.7.1) at
    http://192.168.7.1/rpm
    http://192.168.7.1/ipk
    3) inside the target, according to the packaging system (ipk, rpm, deb) used
    when we generate the target image, we can use different ways to manage
    packages:
        3.1) RPM:  "zypper addrepo http://192.168.7.1/rpm main; zypper refresh"
    to retrieve info about the repo; next, we can use zypper install/remove to
    manage packages.
        3.2) IPK:  add the repo info into opkg config file, i.e., in
    /etc/opkg/arch.conf, we can add something like
    src i586 http://192.168.7.1/ipk/i586, and next we run "opkg update" to make
    opkg update the list of available packages, and next we can use
    opkg install/remove to manage packages.
        3.3) DEB:(To be added)
